Randy Moss, Manny Pacquiao, Nick Bell and Tuesday's Late Sports News

Randy Moss has been officially placed on waivers by the Minnesota Vikings Tuesday afternoon, according to multiple reports.

In the wake of an unprovoked tirade at a team meal last Friday and a lackluster performance against the Patriots Sunday followed by a bizarre postgame press conference, Minnesota coach Brad Childress decided to show Moss the door after just four weeks with the team.

Elsewhere in sports, Manny Pacquiao teamed with Will Ferrell to perform a stirring rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine" last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

And finally, Dan Mullen's Mississippi State team is mourning the loss of defensive end Nick Bell today.

Bell, who started the first two games of the season for the Bulldogs, was diagnosed with cancer in October and underwent emergency surgery Monday morning after his conditioned worsened.

Here's a closer look at those stories and what else is happening around the world of sports Tuesday evening.
